[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 802061, member: 3162"] First off, congratulations. You won't regret doing this. Those are a little more robust than the ones I built out of old trampoline frames. My only suggestion would be to put a wire cattle panel down in the cradle to help sustain loose hay. You are right about saving hay Cypress. CB put me on to this idea a couple of years back. Since it has been so dry this year, the cradles have not had as big of an impact; there hasn't been a lot of mud. Nevertheless, these things are still saving me hay. You have seen my pics I am sure. Here is a link again in case someone else wants to take a look. One is flipped over for the pic such that you can see the under structure. Gussets are what give mine strength. [url=http://ranchers.net/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/10192/ppuser/2144]http://ranchers.net/photopost/showphoto ... puser/2144[/url] I now have two more old trampoline frames to build cradles out of. That should put me at 18 cradles once I use these two additionals. [/QUOTE]
